Gov. Arnold tosses school moral codes
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=51732
California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has tossed out all sexual moral
conduct codes at colleges, private and Christian schools, daycare centers
and other facilities throughout his state, if the institutions have any
students who get state assistance.
The governor yesterday signed a bill that would require all businesses and
groups receiving state funding -- even if it's a state grant for a
student -- to condone homosexuality, bisexuality and transsexuality.
Good.
There is no exception for faith-based organizations or business owners with
sincerely held religious convictions, critics note.
Good. They don't have to take the money.
"The gates of hell are prevailing against the church," Randy Thomasson,
president of the Campaign for Children and Families, told WorldNetDaily.
"It's because Christian colleges and churches have ignored the political
process for so long. Now the political process, absent religious values, is
coming back to assault the church."
"This isn't even a veiled attempt at subtly advancing the radical homosexual
agenda," said Karen England, executive director of Capitol Resource
Institute. "SB1441 is an outright, blatant assault on religious freedom in
California."
Her group's analysis of the legislation concluded it will prevent parochial
schools such as private, Christian and other religious institutions from
getting financial assistance for students if they maintain a code of conduct
that does not endorse such behavior.
Whether that behavior is approved by their religious beliefs is, at this
point, irrelevant, the analysis showed.
"As a citizen of California and a religious person, I am terribly
disappointed in Gov. Schwarzenegger," said Meredith Turney, the legislative
liaison for CRI. "It is bad public policy to add to the list of protected
classes a sexual behavior.
"Equating sexual preference with the immutable characteristics of age,
national origin or race will result in other variable behaviors being added
to the list of invariable classes rightfully protected," she said.
Constitutional assurances of freedom of assembly and freedom of speech both
are destroyed by the action, CRI said. And Thomasson believes it is "setting
up a tremendous church-state conflict in the courts."
"Arnold Schwarzenegger has two faces," said Thomasson. "He speaks at
churches and says he believes in religious freedom and family values, yet
he's stabbing pro-family Californians in the back."
"This bill is yet another attempt to prevent citizens with moral and
religious principles from expressing their beliefs and educating their
children according to those beliefs," said England. "On behalf of California
families, private schools and other private organizations, I express our
outrage at this attack on our freedom."
"Today's disastrous action by Schwarzenegger means Christian and other
faith-based colleges in California will be forced to promote transsexuality,
bisexuality, and homosexuality if they accept students with Cal Grants,"
concluded Thomasson's organization.
He said the governor "has trampled religious freedom to satisfy hyperactive
sexual activists."
"He's not the lesser of two evils, he's doing evil," Thomasson said.
CCF earlier had publicized the situation, and generated thousands of
telephone calls, e-mails and faxes opposing the plan.
But it was supported by Democrats in the state legislature and specifically
requires "any program or activity that receives any financial assistance
from the state" to support the alternative sexual lifestyle choices.
CCF said the change also will affect any program or activity at the local
level that gets any state funding from programs including Medi-Cal, State
Disability Insurance, CalWORKS, food stamps, Unemployment Insurance,
Workers' Compensation, child support services, veterans services, home loan
assistance programs and others.
And as bad as the single bill is, the CCF said, several other "sexual
indoctrination bills" are heading to the governor. One would prohibit
textbooks or school-sponsored activities from "reflecting adversely" on a
certain list of sexual choices.
Another would allow the California superintendent of public instruction to
arbitrarily withhold state funds from any district that does not adequately
promote the State Department of Education's "model policy" promoting
transsexuality, bisexuality or homosexuality in its school policies.
Still another would spend state money promoting transsexual, bisexual and
homosexual lifestyles.
As WND reported, James Dobson, president of the action affiliate of Focus on
the Family ministries, earlier broadcast an urgent call to the millions of
radio program listeners to contact Schwarzenegger about the homosexual
promotions.
Mona Passignano, the state issues analyst for Focus, told WND the
combination of bills would reinforce homosexuality and a limited number of
other sexual choices but also prevent people from reflecting on their
religious beliefs that may address those choices.
"You cannot preach the Gospel. If you want to preach about Romans 1, you
can't. Someone could say, 'That makes me feel bad,'" she said. "You cannot
preach what the Bible says.
"If you're a Christian, it's got to be alarming. If you are not a Christian,
it's got to be alarming," she said. "Because what comes next?
Equality for all citizens?
